The Salmonella invasin SipB induces macrophage apoptosis by binding to caspase-1

TL;DR: The data demonstrate that SipB functions as an analog of the Shigella invasin IpaB, and functional inhibition of caspase-1 activity by acetyl-Tyr-Val-Ala-Asp-chloromethyl ketone blocks macrophage cytotoxicity, and macrophages lacking casp enzyme are not susceptible to Salmonella-induced apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Salmonella Exploits Caspase-1 to Colonize Peyer's Patches in a Murine Typhoid Model

TL;DR: The results show that Casp-1, which is both proapoptotic and proinflammatory, is essential for S. typhimurium to efficiently colonize the cecum and PP and subsequently cause systemic typhoid-like disease in mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolving Drug Delivery Strategies to Overcome the Blood Brain Barrier.

TL;DR: The physiological properties of the blood-brain barrier, conventional strategies to enhance paracellular and transcellular transport through the BBB, emerging concepts to overcome theBBB, and alternative CNS drug delivery strategies that bypass the BBb entirely are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intramedullary Lesion Length on Postoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a Strong Predictor of ASIA Impairment Scale Grade Conversion Following Decompressive Surgery in Cervical Spinal Cord Injury.

TL;DR: Compared with other surrogates, IMLL remained as the only predictor of AIS grade conversion and stepwise multiple logistic regression analysis indicated IMLL was the sole and strongest indicator of Ais grade conversion.
